The single-screen Regent Theatre, which shows first-run features, is located at Lincoln and Washington Avenues. Designed in Mission Revival style with a Streamline Moderne, triangular-shaped marquee. The marquee has no attraction panels, just the name of the theatre in neon lettering.

I appreciate all the wonderful comments left here. Yes our theater has been for sale for sometime. We are currently open and running just fine. We have the showtimes listed because of our small town and the fact that we also have full time jobs. For anyone interested in finding out more about our situation you can email us at

Why can’t the city or community come together to keep this Theater open. Lord knows, as well as the people of wellington, that there isn’t much to do here. I know a lot of people would be interested in a dinner and a movie. There are several video stores closing out with movies @ here..The Movie Gallery, and HomeTown Video in Belle Plaine.
With the proper advertising we could bring in business from a lot of surrounding towns. Is the “Casino” really the only thing people want their families to be involved in and can we afford the consequences of that?
